Description

This comprehensive collection from Edward Elgar Publishing examines the profound impact of price controls on wages, investment and real output across centuries of economic history. The book traces price control regimes from Emperor Diocletian's edicts in 301 A.D. through modern Swedish experiments, offering essential insights into how governments attempt to manage economies through price regulation. Multiple essays analyse price controls during the two world wars, when most industrialised nations implemented some form of control as part of wartime economic strategy. The selection presents literature from both critics and advocates of price controls, providing balanced perspectives on black markets, rationing, shortages and other economic consequences of such policies. This volume is part of the International Library of Macroeconomic and Financial History series, making it an invaluable resource for economists, policymakers, historians and students studying the long-term effects of government intervention in markets and the relationship between price regulation and macroeconomic performance.
